An article published today by the Maidenhead Advertiser says the Rev Sir Philip Watts is taking up a new position as Priest in Charge of the Benefice of Waltham St Lawrence. He is still protesting his innocence in relation to the Shell reserves fraud and cover-up that resulted in him being forced to resign as Group Chairman of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. Sir Phil forgets to mention the $150 million worth of fines imposed on Shell by the US and UK financial regulators, the class action lawsuits that were settled and the overwhelming incriminating evidence against him, including internal emails.  When will he being suing for defamation all of the newspapers that have published articles correctly accusing him of cheating Shell shareholders?

There’s nothing wrong with making profits. But we deserve a more sophisticated debate about sharing them

There is nothing like the news of one of Britain’s biggest companies making record profits to bring out all our ambiguities about capitalism in general and profit in particular. The left’s traditional mistrust of corporate money-making still casts a long shadow and even capitalists are uncertain how to respond when their profits are booming. read more

Unsure of Shell

Screen Shot 2013-01-23 at 13.17.19FROM OUR FEBRUARY 2005 SHELL NEWS ARCHIVE: A person close to the company said: “Without exception, every Shell person I have met recently has asked me if I am able to help them find something else. Others are leaving without even waiting to find another job.”

Printed below is an article by Robert Peston in his then capacity and Sunday City Editor of The Sunday Telegraph. He is not the first to have been deceived by the Shell CEO Jeroen van der Veer. Ask Bill Campbell, the former HSE Group Auditor of Shell International.

Sunday Telegraph City Comment, Edited by Robert Peston, Sunday City Editor: (Filed: 06/02/2005)

Jeroen van der Veer is not what you expect from the chief executive of the UK’s most profitable company – which is what Shell became last week, with its disclosure that in 2004 it generated net income of almost £10bn. read more
